It means your check_ping plugin can't read the output of your ping 
command. It's a very concise error message, actually.
You can try using the check_icmp plugin I contributed ages ago instead. 
It's somewhere at sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug
(click contrib (I think) and then look for check_icmp). It's 99% ANSI C, 
so it will compile on just about any POSIX-compliant system you throw it 
at, and it's a helluva lot faster than check_ping as well.
